The StFX Development Studies Program gives students hands-on experience in community-based development. After completing courses that lay a theoretical foundation for understanding community-based development, students can opt for an internship during which they work on a community-based development project in Canada or abroad. Some students will use this experience as the basis for an honours thesis.
